SmofKabiven extra Nitrogen is a suitable option for patients requiring PN when the aim is to achieve protein targets without overfeeding. It contains SMOFlipid® (soya-bean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil and fish oil), a four oil lipid emulsion.1-3 This range has the highest amino acid concentration in the Fresenius Kabi MCB range.
For total PN, vitamins and trace elements should be administered to the patient in addition to the macronutrients delivered via multi-chamber bags.

SmofKabiven extra Nitrogen1,2
Highest amino acid concentration in our MCBs bag range 1.5 gAA per 20 kcal1
- Counteracts protein deficits1
- Contains taurine which may have a hepatoprotective effect1,4
Lower glucose and lipid concentration than SmofKabiven Central (amino acids, electrolytes, glucose, lipid emulsion) and Kabiven (amino acids, electrolytes, glucose, lipid emulsion)5–7
Nitrogen (g) – non-protein kcal ratio: 1:60
- Guidelines suggest conservative energy intakes can be appropriate in adult patients at risk of refeeding, in obesity and in the acute phase of critical illness8,9
- May help to reduce kcal load10
Contains SMOFlipid four-lipid emulsion3
- Shown to have less impact on liver cell function and inflammatory response versus older lipid emulsions11–16
